CURRENT INFORMATION AND DEVELOPMENTS IN THE ONLINE WORLD OF VOTING AND DEMOCRACY

Californians: Go To New Next Generation Smart Voter Site for Stories and Last-Minute Ballot Information

November 4, 2012

Yikes — only 48 hours left to figure out how you’re voting in Tuesday’s Presidential election! All those state propositions, Congress, state Senate and Assembly, local offices and measures…

But, you’re in luck if you are a California voter. You can take advantage of the brand new Next Generation version of Smart Voter at m.smartvoter.org. It’s designed to be especially helpful for the quick information needs and smaller touch screens of smartphone and tablet owners — but provides a thought-provoking experience for laptop and desktop computer users too with extensive video, audio and graphics to help you understand your choices!

If you haven’t done so, check out the new kinds of featured and innovative content about election issues, contests, news coverage and the voting process. And come back every day because the stories are updated regularly — as many as several times a day when a lot is happening on the electoral scene. At this time the Next Generation site is in an extended “beta” testing phase and only supports California voting information.

But never fear — after we complete our beta testing, we’ll roll out the extensive capabilities of the Next Generation of Smart Voter to voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania and elsewhere in the US too!

You can also visit our conventional Smart Voter website, where you can find our valuable information for other states, local elections occurring on other dates, and past elections.
